What are the best shoes for serving?

If one is going to become a waiter(ess), the most important part of the uniform is the shoes. They must have a closed toe to protect the foot from falling items, and be comfortable to walk in for 8 hours or more. They must have non-skid soles which will not slip in liquids. Most companies who hire waitstaff, as well as retail outlets and other businesses with similar needs, have catalogs. While the shoes in the catalogs may seem expensive, they are usually a good bargain, because they have all the required features. Also, most good shoe shops carry brands and styles that will fill the need.
